Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka is attracting interest from Borussia Dortmund, who are keen on a loan deal before the transfer window closes. However, Chelsea are holding firm, insisting that his £40m release clause must be triggered for a permanent move. The 21-year-old has struggled for game time under Enzo Maresca, featuring only in cup competitions this season. His alternative option is a move to Chelsea’s sister club Strasbourg, but Dortmund's Bundesliga interest is said to be more appealing. Chelsea signed Chukwuemeka from Aston Villa for £20m in 2022, but he has failed to cement a regular spot in the squad. With Monday’s deadline fast approaching, negotiations are ongoing.
- Dortmund want Chukwuemeka on loan, but Chelsea prefer a permanent sale.
- Chelsea are demanding his £40m release clause be met before sanctioning an exit.
- The 21-year-old has barely featured under Maresca, making only five appearances this season.
- Strasbourg is a backup option, but Chukwuemeka prefers a Bundesliga switch.
- Chelsea signed him for £20m from Aston Villa in 2022, but he has struggled for game time.
With just days left in the window, it remains to be seen whether Dortmund will meet Chelsea’s demands or if a loan compromise can be reached.
